NURS 6501 Week 2 Discussion

There are two files attached: one is the case study that will be utilized to develop the care plan and concept map, and the other is the concept map. For comprehensive implementation, the case study should be well grasped. The diagnosis should be worded appropriately (Problem __ relates to __ as evidenced by ). A time frame should be included in the planning. The intervention should be carefully worded, with acceptable rationales and references. Evaluations should be reasonable, with explanations if they are fulfilled, partially met, or unmet (f goals are unmet or are only partially met, you should continue the intervention).

I need a tutor with deep nursing background and understanding to pick this up. Please do not bid if you have a peripheral understanding of writing a careplan. This is 50% of my grade and need to be done well. WU NURS 6501 Week 2 Advanced Pathophysiology Adenocarcinoma of The Colon Case Study

CHAPTER 1  CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS  CASE STUDY 3

INSTRUCTIONS All questions apply to this case study. Your responses should be brief snd to the point. When asked to provide several answers, list them in order of priority or significance. Do not assuma information that is not provided. Please print or write clearly. If your response is not laglble, it witl be marked as ? and you will need to rewrite It.

You are a nurse at a freestanding cardiac prevention and rehabilitation center. Your new patient in risk-factor modification is B.T., a 41-year-old traveling salesman, who is married and has three children. He tells you that his work does not let him slow down. During a recent evaluation for chest pain, he underwent a cardiac catheterization procedure that showed moderate single-vessel disease with a 50% stenosis in the mid right coronary artery (RCA).

He was given a prescription for sublingual (SL) nitroglycerin (NTG), told how to use it, and referred to your cardiac rehabilitation program for sessions of 3 days a week. B.T.’s wife comes along to help him with healthy lifestyle changes. You take a nursing history, as indicated in the following.

  3. B.T. laughingly tells you he believes in the five all-American food groups: salt, sugar, fat, chocolate, and caffeine.
  4. Identify health-related problems in this case description; the problem that is potentially life threatening should be listed
  5. Of all of his behaviors, which one is the most significant in promoting cardiac disease?
  6. What is the highest priority problem that you need to address with T.? How will you determine this? Identify the teaching strategy you would use with him. WU NURS 6501 Week 2 Advanced Pathophysiology Adenocarcinoma of The Colon Case Study
  7. What is the second problem yéiu would work with T. to change? Identify an appropriate strategy to resolve the problem.
  8. B.T.’s wife takes you aside and tells you, “I’m so worried for B. I grew up in a really dysfunctional family where there was a lot of violence. B. has been so good to the kids and me.

  10. What is the first action you are going to do? What other information will you obtain?
  11. T. is still uncomfortable, and he has an unopened bottle of sublingual nitroglycerin (SL NTG) tablets. You decide to give him one tablet. After 5 minutes, which is the appropriate action to take? WU NURS 6501 Week 2 Advanced Pathophysiology Adenocarcinoma of The Colon Case Study
    1. If the chest discomfort is relieved, call
    2. If the chest discomfort is not relieved, give another SL NTG tablet, and wait 5 minutes
